Great video but I hope the fish survived. Long fight and the fish was not handled well afterwards.

Very cool seeing the big tiger through very clear ice.

Not very thick ice! Just got back from ice fishing in Wisconsin. 8-10" of ice already and getting thicker daily.Nice fish though.

We may only see what we look for.

Hey,

That is a neat video with the ice being that clear and seeing the fish so clearly. Does anyone have a source for good bait? I've been looking and the best I've been able to find are so called "pike" minnows, which are basically 3 to 4 inch shiners. There has got to be someone who sells good 6 to 9 inch suckers. Any information would be appreciated.

Hope they ate that thing! ;D 8 to 10'' is great car havein fun ice! 😉 salt water ice is the most fun, you can see the waves movein through it. when walkin on it, its like walkin on a pool cover. im talkin barnegat bay. Only in the begining before it turns solid, very weird, but fun. also not very deep where we would try it. Back before that warming BS!!! 😛

I guess I don't get it. Would someone explain this to me?Why is it against our clubs policy to advocate the use of live bait in the summer time, but it's ok for ice fishing?

We may only see what we look for.

Barry,

I personally don't live bait fish for muskies, but as a club we don't frown apon it unless it is done incorrectly. Live bait fishing when done correctly with a quick strike rig is very effective in some situations.. also when done correctly it can do less damage them catching a fish with three treble baits.

Hey Lehigh, Outalanuee is not frozen at all. Only Peters Creek is, it has about 4". It's going to take a few more days to get skin ice. Later on

Barry, It's ironic that you bring this up ( live bait fishing) now. Don't know if you saw or not, but we as a club will be writing a more "muskie friendly" version of live bait fishing for the State. If you would like to help in putting this together or have any suggestions, they would be welcomed.

On a side note, that was pretty awesome seeing that Tiger thru the ice! Unbelievable! And what about that goober with the pole... :'(
